They charge to a little over 10v, but after a day they settle down to 9.6v.I use them in my Naiant littlekit pre-amp to provide phantom power. They are the least expensive true 9.6 v batteries plus charger I have found.

Nice find, but I'm still doubtful that these are "true" 9.6V batteries. There's nothing in the specs promising this. And the 160mAh is untypically low. Maha and the others are all 200-230mAh.But if you're able to fire them up to 10V, they should be good enough for most devices... :-)

FWIW, I already had one of the terminals "stay" connected to the charger when carefully removing the battery from the charger to take to a show.... so I have to see about an RMA and another 2 pack so I can not be stuck like this weekend where I needed 8 for a mini-festival and only had 7 available.

Those are not 9.6 volts, they are 9 volts. They have been available for a while.

I am no science teacher, but are we better off with more voltage or more mAh in the nbox?

This has been discussed before. Search for "nbox + Maha".Basically, the 300mAh version labeled 9V are actually nominally 8.4V. FWIW, Chris Church says they don't provide enough voltage for his gear, so he recommends the genuine 9.6V.
